They can just stay on, forcing you to get a lawyer (means $$$ you need to spend), plus they pay no rent after you serve an unlawful detainer (loss of $$$ for you).

If I were you, I'd have my attorney serve a 3-day against the former owner and "all occupants in possession", then file the unlawful detainer on day 4.

Right now we are at the point of requesting the final relief of stay -- 20 days, then back to filing a 3 day pay or quit and unlawful detainer -- another 33 days.

Then you'll have to proceed with evicting the tenant (i.e. unlawful detainer lawsuit).

Must wait until 7 full judicial days pass before filing for eviction with the court.Landlords can no longer post official notices themselves.Landlords must pay for a licensed process server to post official notices such as: Pay or Quit, Unlawful Detainer, 30 Day No-Cause, etc.

In my location, if you have terminated the tenancy and the tenant failed to move out, you have the right to file an unlawful detainer (eviction).

I had a hard way to go on my first rental (legal, unlawful detainers, etc.) and got discouraged.

If we are in the process of eviction and the tenant is unlawfully detaining on the property, I will take extra caution for my personal safety.

Keep the deposit, tell them to go and if they want to fight it I would give them 3-day demand to move and then file a forcible detainer immediately.

Once the 3-day is finished, I file for the forcible entry and detainer (eviction).
